Glaucoma is not attributed to a single origin but rather encompasses a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often linked to increased intraocular pressure. The term "glaucoma" is derived from the Greek word "glaukos," meaning "blue" or "green," referencing the greenish appearance of the eye in advanced stages of the disease. Its understanding has evolved over centuries, with early descriptions found in ancient medical texts, while modern research continues to uncover genetic and environmental factors contributing to its development.
